“I was browsing in one of the offices in the department and he (her husband) walked in and complained that the Internet service on his system was behaving funny. I offered to help. That was how he took interest in me. The rest, they say, is history,” the wife said.
A couple who obtained PhD in different disciplines the same day stole the show at the 50th convocation of the University of Lagos. Fate and love for knowledge brought them together.
The couple made history by becoming the first to bag a doctorate degree same day. The husband, Dr. Olusegun Samuel and his wife, Dr Temitope Samuel, were rewarded with a PhD in Marine Ecology and Botany respectively to the admiration of an ecstatic crowd.
They were not born the same day. Neither did they attend the same primary and secondary schools. They are also not from the same state. The husband is from, Ilaje, Ondo State while the wife is from Abeokuta, Ogun State.

The husband, who joined UNILAG as a lecturer in the Faculty of Science in 2007, said, “It is what we both agreed to do. I don’t feel threatened that my wife has attained the same academic feat with me. It is for the benefit of the family.”
They got married on May 1, 2010 and the marriage is blessed with a baby boy. Congrats!
